Multi environment evaluation of chickpea disease nurseries (wilt, Aschochyta blight and Botrytis grey mold) to identify stable and new sources of resistance
Under the ICRISAT- ICAR collaboration, disease nurseries of wilt (ICWN), AB (IABN) and BGM (IBGMN) consisting of 30 entries (28 resistant cultivars and 2 susceptible checks) were evaluated at different locations (hot spots) ...
Gendered aspirations and occupations among rural youth, in agriculture and beyond: A cross-regional perspective
Based on 25 case studies from the global comparative study ‘GENNOVATE: Enabling gender equality in agricultural and environmental innovation’, this paper explores rural young women’s and men’s occupational aspirations and ...
Introgression of striga resistance into popular Sudanese sorghum varieties using marker assisted selection
Witchweed (Strigaspp.) is one of the most important cereals production constraints globally and is projected to worsen with anticipated climate change. It is especially a devastating parasitic weed in Sub-Saharan Africa ...
An Update on Genetic Resistance of Chickpea to Ascochyta Blight
Ascochyta blight (AB) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr. is an important and
widespread disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) worldwide. The disease is particularly severe
under cool and humid weather conditions. ...

Biomass in crop-livestock systems in the context of the livestock revolution
Mixed crop-livestock systems are the dominant source of livelihood supporting more
than 80% of people living in the developing world and producing 50% of world
cereals, around 34% of the global beef production and about ...
Quantification of Foc colonization through qPCR in resistant and susceptible cultivars grown under elevated CO2
The chickpea seedlings of susceptible cv. JG 62 and resistant cv. WR 315 were grown in open top chambers at different CO2 concentrations [ambient (~380 ppm) and elevated ( 550 ppm and 700 ppm). Seven day old seedlings were ...
Multi-environment evaluation of pigeonpea disease nursery of 28 lines to wilt and SMD resistance
Under the ICAR-ICRISAT collaboration, during 2015-16 crop seasons, Pigeonpea Wilt and SM Disease Nursery (PWSMDN) consisting of 30 entries (28 resistant cultivars and 2 susceptible checks) were evaluated for wilt and SMD ...
Development of proteome library from FOC inoculated chickpea resistant and susceptible cultivars under elevated CO2 through MALDI and MS-MS analysis
Total root proteins of control and Foc infected chickpea (JG 62 and WR 315) were extracted. Isoelectric focusing (IEF) of extracted proteins was carried out using immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips. 2-DE gels were scanned ...
Application of Modern Tools of Biotechnology for Pest Management
Recombinant DNA technology has significantly enhanced our ability for crop improvement, to meet the increased demand for food and fiber. Considerable progress has been made over the past two decades in manipulating genes ...
